Yard sale, and Ruby's end of school puppet show

I'm still way behind on my posts! Here are the pics from mid-June. Ruby was wrapping up her school year, and Miles was getting better and better at walking. My parents came p to help us with a big yard sale.
 Andy and the kids walked down the street and Ruby's friend Maya from school had this fun little electric scooter. Ruby loved it and was really good at it!
 Reid wanted to get on for a try too and had so much fun.
 And Miles enjoyed his book. His 18 month pants are way too small. Hah!
 We all walked Ruby to school on Wednesday. Reid was cold and wanted his brown blanket.
 <3
 Ruby wanted a picture with this huge cedar tree that is right outside the school.
 Reid wanted his stuffed animals to eat lunch with us, so he got out the booster seat for them and buckled them in.
 After school fort building in the hallway! They all three had fun in there for a long time.
 Sometimes he eats like a dog and thinks it's funny. He has a great sense of humor already.
 We all went to Ruby's Kindergarten puppet show, including all 4 grandparents! She did great, and it was really cute. They made their puppets, and hers was an Oni (monster).
 Ruby with her teacher, Mrs. Kohl.
 Singing their Kindergarten song (to the tune of the Adams Family).
 We had some strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries from my mom's garden to celebrate Father's Day a little early. 
 It was so delicious!
 Grandpa and Ruby loved it.
 Grandma loved it.
 Miles loved it!
 We had him sleep in the pack n play in our room so my parents could have a room. He cried and cried at first, but once I got him to sleep he did fine. It was good practice for camping coming up soon. He has been sleeping through the night almost every night, which has been lovely!!!
 We got all ready for the yard sale on Friday. We couldn't have done it without my parents!
 We did a lot of playing out in the front yard.
 Grandpa helped Reid fix his tractor.
 He has been giving the cutest kisses (mostly tongue). Hahaha
 Friday after school Ruby went to her friend Annabel's spy themed birthday party! She was so cute.
 Mom and I went to pick her up, she had tons of fun! Most of her class was there, so it was kind of like an end of the year party too. The boy in the red shirt is Ren who also goes to our church sometimes.
 Ru was excited to give Annabel her birthday gift.
 Ruby and Grandma made really yummy Snickerdoodles for a little bake sale outside on Saturday. The neighbor girls down the street were selling lemonade too. Of course, Ruby went down and played with them for a long time.
 There were several other sales down our street on Saturday, and Ruby found this cute cat hat to buy.
 Giving me a flower. <3
We had the kids watch a movie in the afternoon, they sure are cute.
 Then in the late afternoon we cleaned up the yard sale (we made $206!) and headed down to Uncle Paul and Aunt Paula's house for a dinner Maddie put on for her supporters. We went a little early to play on the farm. Ruby loves to swim!! She was even jumping in the pool. Andy got in with her too.
 Reid and Grandpa rode around on the mower for a really long time. Reid even got to drive and did really good! Miles liked it too.
 Reid LOVED Daisy. We need to get this boy a dog. Miles did too!
 Father's Day picture with Grandpa and Grandma after church! We love when they come to see us.
 We went out to St. HonorĂ© Boulangerie for a little brunch after church. The Croque Madame was delicious.
 Grandpa with his littlest grand baby. They headed back home right afterward.
 <3 I love these four!!! Andy's such a good dad to our kids.
 Grandma brought this fun house for Ruby to build and paint.
 Reid took a nice Father's Day nap.
 We went out for milkshakes and fries with Andy's parents.
 It was so fun!
 Reid did this all on his own with the pens and pencils (while he was supposed to be writing his name on thank you cards).
Boys in the bath. They sure love each other.

Play, play, play

Here's the next week of pictures! We sure like to play around here.
 We love our fun tent, the kids get it out often.
 I straightened Ruby's hair... so pretty!
 Playing horsey on the pillow.
 Miles has been fussy, he's getting his top canines in. So this is how I had to cook dinner... he was pulling my hair. Hahaha!
 We met our friends at Pirate Park and Reid got his first packed lunch in a lunch container. :) He loved it.
 Reid and William digging in the sand.
 When I water my strawberry plant it "pees."
 He colored Ms. Fritter, I think it's his first picture where he colored in the whole thing.
Andy got this idea of Hall Ball from a book he's reading, they loved it!
 Lego time in the morning. Ruby has been loving to sleep in Andy's t-shirts.
 Selfie by Ruby, photo bomb by Reid.
 Helping with the laundry (he just liked watching it fill with water and when the agitator starts moving).
 Reid and Megan had fun painting.
 And then they got tired so they made a bed on the trampoline.
 He LOVES getting into the recycling and playing with everything. He's doing a little better at not putting every single little thing in his mouth, but we still have to watch him pretty closely.
 Cup towers!
 Ruby getting on the bus.
 Feeding Andy a baby bottle.
 Reid often asks for a big fork and a big spoon, so Andy got out the serving utensils for him. Haha! He loved it.
 We drove down to Sublimity on Saturday for Alex Reece's graduation party. It was so fun to see some old friends. Miles found the stair case and went straight up to the top (his first time climbing up stairs). He's a good climber!
Miles with their doll house....
 
...and I have a picture of Ruby with it in 2012! 
 They're so cute, enjoying their bubbly water.
 I got a package and came out of the back to them trying to cut it open. At least they're butter knives. Yikes!
 Our heater broke right when we had a little cold spell. We woke up to the house at 63 degrees on Sunday morning and we were all so cold!
 After church snuggles on the couch with blankets. It took a few days to get it fixed, but thankfully it warmed up outside which helped. We got our space heaters out too.
 She has been loving this flower thing. It has a pin and a clip so it can go on her clothes or in her hair.
 I made Reid a car wash, which he proceeded to play with for an entire day.
 Miles got to talk to Uncle Randall for a few minutes on the phone, then when we hung up he did this with the calulator.
 Washing the tow truck.
 He climbed up by himself!
 Dinner time in their jammies. :) They love to sit by Daddy.
